The Stage

The Stage might appear to be just screen fences constructed for the safety of workers and aesthetic purposes. At the same time, it can be seen as some kind of a veil (screen) of time that would later on unexpectedly emerge from the separation of time—its tendency to cover and conceal (isolation and concealment). This makes us confront that fact that it is the veil of time in the world of reality (the present), symbol (the past) and imagination (the future) that exists in between the front and the back. In other words, the screen fences often founded at a construction site become The Stage beyond the idea of safety and aesthetic, through which we experience feelings of strolling in time. In addition, we can think about what has been lost, constructed, and completed through the division of time which is epitomized by the front and backside of the screens. I am casually inviting you to this place. And that place, for you, might just be a street, construction site or haughty wall as you know. You will be vacantly standing in front of the stage. Neither a dramatic view nor a story will occur. Instead, they will project things they have seen onto the untidy screen. It does not force you to do something, nor does it give you something to look at. You will, nevertheless, be looking into the screen, walking around it, and trying to project something onto it. The stage will juxtapose you with things with which you do not seem to have a connection, as if to suggest doing meditation facing a wall. If you are standing in front of this screen right now, then you already stepped up to the stage, which I set for you, without knowing.
